Dimensional Anchor | Materialization

NAME: Dimensional Anchor ELEMENT: Aether COST: 5  TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Immaterial creatures are now mortal, and gain +2/-2. Non-skilled creatures affected gain " : Lightning" as a skill.	NAME: Materialization ELEMENT: Aether COST: 4  TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Immaterial creatures are now mortal, and gain +2/-2. Non-skilled creatures affected gain " : Lightning" as a skill.

ART: Saynt IDEA: Saynt NOTES: Mortality takes effect before the skill gain. Immortal first loses its immateriality, and thus has no skill, then gains Lightning. SERIES:

Love this idea, and this is permanent correct, is sort of a HEAVY CC with Anubis on the field?

WAY too OP

lightning on a stick?  with a single creature in 6 turns you could directly deal 30 damage, imagine the effects this could have with multiple immortals, phase dragons and quintessence; which btw, have okay defence to be able to survive normal CC if they weren't immaterial.

Far too OP and greatly overshadows Owl's eye as a CC.

I could just de-materialize a creature, it gets the abiliy and Quint it, Wha-la! you have an untouchable nigh-godly CC on the field, not to mention constant barrage on opponents hp if it has nothing better to do.

too powerful.
needs a serious change imho.

Note that the card is a permanent, meaning if you Quinted a creature it would instantly become material again.

Even so, the card needs a huge nerf. Not sure what to suggest here.

true, I was too flaberghasted to think about that,  however also keep in mind that i could quint a creature and it automatically becomes unquinted and gains tht ability

I'd add poison counters, but that wouldn't fit the theme...

[XYTWO]

Possibly change the ability to a version which doesn't target players? First thing that came to mind.

[ddevans96]

Actually raising the cost of the ability - aether card's aren't exactly cheap. Maybe 3 or so?

Nah it wouldn't i tried something like that in the past, didn't work out well.

why not just give them a boost in attack but dematerialize? that might give immortals a better use.

'Immaterial creatures are now mortal, and gain +2/-2. Non-
skilled creatures affected gain " : Lightning" as a skill.'

Would that be alright?

[Esori]

That seems alright i guess but would create a nasty synergy with life
Life/Aether decks ftw lol

As long as lightning is there and it costs less than 4 , its OP.

If the ability costs 4 , Its not as OP imo.
